Social
Problems – Part 4

The
Cause of the Cause

Maybe we should skip the whole
debate on allowing abortion and focus on why the number of abortions performed
each year is as large as it is.If
we could figure out the answer to this problem, we might be able to bring the
need for abortions down to such a small number that it wouldn’t even be on
anyone’s radar screen.

What is the cause of so many women
being placed into the position where they even need to consider having an
abortion?That’s a stupid
question.We all know the
cause.A better question would be,
“What is the cause of the cause?”

I am going to suggest that liberal
ideas and policies are at least partially to blame, knowing full well that the
reaction of many people will be that I am a knee-jerk reactionary type that
will blame anything and everything on liberals.If you haven’t done so already, now would be a good time to
read my earlier “Barbecue Grill” post.

The problem I have with so many
liberal ideas and policies is that they often create or aggravate problems and
later, the people that were pushing those ideas are the same ones that expect
the rest of us to pay for “solutions” to these problems.Throwing money at problems is not
always the answer and often makes things worse.Whenever you subsidize anything, you get more of it, whether
it’s corn, ethanol, solar power companies, poor people, single mothers, or abortions.
